Mustard Sauce.

1 gill of hot milk.

1 large tablespoonful of butter.

1 teaspoonful of flour.

1 level teaspoonful of mustard.

1/4 teaspoonful of salt.

A grain of cayenne.

Beat the butter, flour, and mustard together until smooth and creamy. Pour the hot milk on this mixture, and place the saucepan on the range. Stir until the sauce boils. Add the salt and pepper, and serve.

This sauce is nice to serve with broiled lobster, roasted or steamed clams, and other fish.
